           Summary: [Win] Remove dependence on Microsoft Embedded OpenType
                    Font Engine (T2EMBED.DLL)  from
                    FontCustomPlatformData.cpp

        OS/Version: Windows 7
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Text

t2embed.dll has some security flaws so microsoft provided an optional fixit for it. 
However, the fixit caused some apps that use t2embed.dll do not function properly.

For example, webkit crashes when when trying to use t2embed functions after applying the fixit.

The alternative is to use AddFontMemResource functions, like chromium windows has done.
